My partner and I observed two different television shows to analyze the representation of ethnic groups. The two shows we watched were Good Luck Charlie and CSI: Miami. Our findings differed in many ways, which isn’t very surprising in today’s generation.

Because of this developed knowledge for other types of people, this project made me more tolerable…

Primordialists argue that it is not possible to eliminate the influence of ethnic groups in the formation of national identity given the long history of these groups (Geertz, 1994, p. 30).
